What does the blood on Christ's garments in Isaiah 63 represent?
The blood on Christ’s garments in Isaiah 63 represents the blood of His enemies, splattered on Him as He treads them in wrath and fury at His Second Coming. It is not the blood of Calvary, but the blood of wrath poured out on His victims during the day of vengeance.
Les teaches that Isaiah 63 is not speaking of the blood of Calvary. Instead, it speaks of the blood of wrath poured out on Christ’s victim. The passage says He trod the winepress alone, none of the people were with Him, He tread them in His anger and trampled them in His fury, and their blood was sprinkled or splattered upon His garments, staining all His raiment. This is tied to the day of vengeance being in His heart and the year of His redeemed having come, which Les identifies as the Second Coming of Christ. He then points to Revelation 19 for a different view, where Christ comes in His glory and power, not so much in wrath and judgment upon the gathered armies of the Antichrist.
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
